Most effective at sharp tracks; justified favouritism when fending off Ideal Guest over C&D (good to firm) last July and now 5lb lower; step back in the right direction when third to Filey Beach over C&D (14-1, beaten over 2l) ten days ago; interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Verdict
Stepping back up in trip can see Without Delay go well, while We Still Believe, Streetscape and Calcutta Dream (second choice) also have something to recommend them. GILBERT has to bounce back from a poor run five weeks ago but he may have been feeling the effects of a busy spell and he’ll be a major player if back to the form he showed when chasing home a red-hot rival at Yarmouth on his penultimate start.[Paul Smith]
